# EV3 vs Project DRAG

The clearest difference is ads: EV3 at none against Project DRAG's shown. EV3 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 82). Project DRAG's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EV3 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Project DRAG sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EV3 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV3 has 1.9K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of EV3's written reviews are positive against 79% of Project DRAG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EV3 ships an update every 3 weeks, Project DRAG every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
